³⁸ The censers of ^(A)these men who sinned ^[a]against their own souls, let them be made into hammered plates as a covering for the altar. Because they presented them before the Lord, therefore they are holy; ^(B)and they shall be a sign to the children of Israel.”

¹⁶ But ^(A)in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the iniquity ^(B)of the Amorites ^(C)is not yet complete.”

¹³ But the men of Sodom ^(A)were exceedingly wicked and ^(B)sinful against the Lord.
